Vermont's Centennial

Vermont was the first addition to the
family of thirteen States composing the
Union that emerged from the Revolution
The stormy quarrel over their land titles
which her settlers had with the authorities
of New York kept her out of the Union dur
ing the Revolutionary war, though it did not
keep her sons out of the patriot armies.
In lI77 the people Of Vermont formed a con-
stitution, and proclaimed themselves an in
dependent Commonwealth, under the name
Of New Connecticut. British emssaries tried
to intrigue with them against the thirteen
struggling colonies, but Vermont was as
true to the cause of liberty then as she has
been ever since. But not until 1884, after
New York's demands had been settled by
the payment of thirty thousand dollars, was
she finally admitted to the Union as State.
During the first half Of this century tie
growth Of the State was very rapid; but
since 1910 her population has been almost
stationary. But if her people have not in
creased In numbers, they certainly have not
diminished in reputation. If there has been
anything steadfast in this world of change
it has been the political principles of the
people Of Vermont. A steadfast old Whig
State, it wheeled easily into the Republican
line in the campaign of John c. Fremont,
and has since kept its position without the
shadow of change. To-day the Republican
party can muster in Vermont majority that
is larger than the whole Democratic party of
the State
Other States have outStripped Vermont in
the race for commercial influence. Her
rugged hills cannot compete with the fertile
prairies of the West in anything but the
production Of men. But through the un-
swerving steadfastness of her people and the

MIR. o'grlen in Toronto.

Whatever may be thought of the wisdom
OF Mr. OBrien's trip to Canada for the pur
pose of showing up the Governor General, in
its inception, and concerning that the Irish
leaders even were divided in opinion,-it
must be admitted that the proceedings of the
Orangemen at Toronto went good way
toward making it successful. The story
which Mr.. 0'Brien tells he has perfect
right to tell if it is true. 1t concerns what
was essentially public act,-namely, the
eviction by I.erd LanSdowne of the inhabi-
tants of whole county of Ireland who were
his tenants Mr.. 0'Bripn charges that these
eyctlons were characterized by shocking
brutalities, and gives details to prove his as
sertion. Nay mere, he produces one of the
eylcted tenants TO corroborate his statements.
If his statements are true the Governor Gen
eral deserves punishment and the only pun
ishment possible under the circumstances is
that which Mr.. O'Brien is now administering
by telling the story of these eyctions before
the people whom Lord Lansdowne has been
sent by the British crown to govern.
II Mr.. 0'Brien's statements were not true
there was no great difficulty in disproving
them. His position might prevent the Gov
ernor General from answering them person
ally, but there are plenty of ways in which
his friends could have authoritatively point
ed out O'Brien's falsehoods and presented
the facts to the public. But they have
awaited themselves of none of them, but in
stead have undertaken to boot the Irishman
down. His charges of cruelty against the
Marquis they have answered not with de-
NAL, but with groan and hiss; and by
their conduct have practically confessed that
no satisfactory answer can ibe made, or at
any rate, that they know of none More
over they have done more than this. They
have demonstrated in very conspicuous
manner the truth of the Irish claim that the
English Tories-for all those that took part
in the Toronto riot were without doubt sym
pathizers with that party-do 9atv care
enough for the peopls. q =. ireland to patient
~ near complaints, that they regard
/ Ifefnfid Virtually as conquered province
to be governed according to the caprice
of the conquerors and without regard
to the wishes of its inhabitants. Doubtless
to the most of the men WHO hooted 0'Brien
1t makes little difference whether the story
he tells be true or false. They look upon the
telling of it by an Irishman as in itself an
offence closely approaching to treason to the
crown, and would no doubt justify their
conduct at O'Brien's meeting on the ground
that they were suppreSsing a rebel.
But the great mass of the people of Cana
da have correct sense of justice and fair
play They enjoy large measure of liber-
ty themselves and have no sympathy with
despotlsm. On them Mr.. O'Briens story,
emphasized by the treatment he received at
Toronto must have made a profound impress
sion which bodies no good to the popularity
of the Governor General.

The color line is drawn in South Carolina
with more than the usual distinctness. 1t
goes right through some of the churches

Episcopal Church held recently, there was

Der Of the convention, but some of the dele
gates protested, giving his color as their only
reason, saying that it was understood that
the colored people would have churches of
their own, and would not intrude upon the
white churchmen. The bishop firmly held
his ground, and, at last, seeing that they
could not prevail against him, two clergymen
and the lay delegates of fourteen parishes
withdrew from the convention. Some of the
white Christians of the South seem to be as
disinclined to get to heaven in the same
church with the colored man as they are to
